Well thought i would post up pics of my weekends work done to the car,

washed with Auto Glym shampoo conditioner, i then realised just how rough the doors felt both through the sponge and by hand, so out came my Meguiars Clay Bar Kit

The finish is fantastic, and for those who haven't had experience of using this stuff before, the body ends up feeling like glass, with fantastic reflections

So anyway, here are a few pics for you feast your eyes over

i polished it after claying yes autoglym super resin polish not as good as meguiars that u get in the clay bar box tho plus by the time i finished teh clouds had started to roll in so the effect wasnt as great as it was when i was halfway done. the aerial really should go all together, it never gets used

I use the second one and am happy with it came from halfords. Has two clay bars, bottle of quick detailer, bottle of megs cleaner wax and microfibre cloth


Think the other one is actually the same but has just the detailer one bar of clay in it.

- shampoo car
- rinse car
- dry car
- clay bar car using quick detailer as lube
- dry car
